I have a lot of friends and family that use SMS/RCS and I can’t get them all to use Signal.
I have the option to send SMS from a simple FOSS SMS app, and then we can communicate back and forth.
I’ve heard something about RCS getting E2EE and find that appealing.
What is the future of RCS? What are my options, and should I just stick with SMS?
Edit: Stick with SMS when I have to, and use Signal etc when possible ofc.

That kinda sucks, a lost opportunity. I really don’t want to use Google, and preferably not Samsung either.
So either: Network operator / Big tech 😑
I guess I trust the network operator more due to semi-strict laws in Norway on privacy.
There may be a few others that handle RCS besides those two, but their ties may be just as unsavory as the first two.
That’s pretty awesome that there are at least some laws about telecom provider privacy where you are! Here in the states they can basically do whatever they want with whatever you give them 😓
